Demolition, site work and new construction of an office development in Durham, North Carolina. Completed plans call for the demolition of a office development; for site work for a office development; and for the construction of a 3,800-square-foot office development.

The project is located at the NC Department of Transportation campus in Durham, NC. The scope of the project consists of a new 3800 sf building facility which includes office spaces, bullpen and kitchen facility, storage warehouse for bulk storage and associated support spaces. The building will be constructed of light wood frame construction and pre-engineered wood trusses. The exterior will be constructed of a durable masonry wainscot and cementitious lapped siding with an asphalt shingle roof and an alternate cost for a standing seam metal roof. The site work shall include the demolition of two existing buildings. The existing Jenkins building is on the same site as the proposed new building so demolition must occur prior to construction of the new building. The existing office building which the owner is currently occupying will be in a demolition alternate and demoed after completion and relocation of the employees into the new building. A perimeter chain link fence with access gate will be provided for security purposes. The parking area will provide 49 parking spaces and the necessary ADA parking spaces with accessibility to the front door. The base bid parking area shall be a gravel parking lot with an asphalt parking lot specified in a bid alternate. Bids will be received for Single Prime. All proposals shall be lump sum. The bidder shall include with the bid proposal the form Identification of Minority Business Participation identifying the minority business participation it will use on the project and shall include either Affidavit A or Affidavit B as applicable.
